Every autumn we organize small version of the festival (1-2 days) in different cities around the country with the aim to promote and sustain the main festival.
Beside this we organize different cultural project that aims to support the development of young photographers and to promote their work, both at national an international level.
We can contribute to the network with our experience and local cultural network. In our project we can involve a wide range of cultural organisation and facilitate the promotion of different artistic works of their members.
We want to join the ALF Network in order to interact with other organisations involved in the cultural field and especially in intercultural dialogue. We are a new organisation (2 years old) and our goal is to extend our activities to international level and to bring a more international perspective in our current projects. We believe that joining the ALF network can facilitate the interaction with other organisation, partnership making and can offer access to funding and development sources.
